  • Gauntlet: Slayer Edition

    ,

    This is one of the offering’s from PS+ this month, and I’d actually been quite looking forward to playing it, having heard good things – I remember one friend in particular, who’s judgement I trust, saying how much he enjoyed it. Well, it’s indeed a blast to play, feeling like what a Gauntlet game should…

  • The Order: 1886

    I had always been curious to play this, and at 10 bucks during a recent PSN sale, I finally took the plunge. I’ve only played an hour or two so far, but it’s certainly one of the nicest looking games I’ve seen – realistic-looking graphic fidelity doesn’t get much nicer than this in games, me…

  • Fallout 4

    ,

    Like the rest of the planet, I’m playing Fallout 4. After an initial big night of play of 4-5 straight hours, I’ve decided to take it easy, and just do 1-2 hour sessions every once in a while. I want to slowly savor it, but at the same time, I find that it’s a pretty…

  • The Walking Dead: Season 2

    ,

    I used to play all of the Telltale games, but finally got to a point where I was burnt out on them – it even happened before, and then I felt a spurt of interest when Game of Thrones and Tales of the Borderlands launched, but after playing through the first episode of each, even…

  • Cibele

    I really quite enjoyed playing through this. It’s a game, yes, but it’s probably best if you think of it more as a piece of interactive narration, as you are not really left to do any decision-making, simply progressing through the story – which does involve playing through a few MMO-like encounters, but the point…

  • Undertale

    ,

    With everyone going on about how this is apparently the second coming in the form of a game, I figured I had to jump in. I’ve put in a couple of hours, and I do really like the fantastic dialogue and characterizations, but man, the “combat” system (I put this in quotes because I’m playing the…

  • Fate Tectonics

    ,

    This is an interesting game, and I’m not quite sure how to describe it. I guess you could start by saying it’s a god game, as you are building a world, but then it also feels like a puzzle game in that when you get new pieces to add to your world, you have to…

  • Heavenstrike Rivals

    ,

    This is a new free-to-play tactics game on iOS from Square Enix, and I was interested in giving it a shot based on the screenshots I saw. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Hero Academy, another iOS tactics game I quite liked, but it still manages to feel like its own game. I especially…
